Guys with Kids

I was lucky enough to download the Pilot ep. for free on my Tablet, and watched the second episode on Hulu. This show is absolutely priceless! Great acting, great writing, and great atmosphere. I honestly haven't laughed this much since....well, it's been awhile. There aren't many great new shows out there, and I've basically been stuck with re-runs until this show came out. I must say, the initial trailers didn't do it justice. If that first episode wasn't free, I likely wouldn't have watched it. But I'm very glad I did, because it's entirely worth it! In this case, DON'T pay any attention to the rating out of ten. Check it out for yourself, you'll be glad you did.

I'm not a big fan of TV comedy these days, as most of them desperately and relentlessly reach for the gutter for their "comedy". Not that I'm easily offended - I can appreciate an occasional, well justified and thought out piece of raunchiness as anybody. But to be in the gutter the majority of the time like a bunch of high school boys? Is this why the average rating here is just 5/10? Not enough raunchiness for people?

This show is refreshing because it's good non-gutter comedy. These 30-ish dads haven't given up their fun improvisational attitudes toward life yet, and find themselves getting into classic comic not-so-smart undertakings that backfire, getting in trouble either with their wives or with one of the other guys. And there's warm and fuzzy make-up moments when the characters manage to rise to maturity in the face of being proved stupid.

So far, the show has gotten me to laugh out loud at least once per episode, and that's rare for me; even when the comedy is good, I don't usually do more than smile.

update 12/08/2012: The episodes since I wrote this a month ago have been somewhat lame. One show was spoiled by too much focus on the bitchy ex-wife (I suppose some people would like that). Overall, the show is losing the focus on the guys as described above.

I first caught glimpse of it on my Local channel and found myself laughing at the jokes and timings of the Actor. I then took the pain of gathering all the episodes from the first season and searched it up on the Internet which showed that the Show had been cancelled. This made me think before I went ahead to see it. However I would have regretted my whole life for missing such a series if I had gone with the wind. An awesome series which was unique in its own way. It had all the ingredients to make it to the good ones list- Great actors, awesome scripts, superb timing but lacked the one thing which was really essential-A believing network. And i really really really wish the Network does review to bring the Show back

This show just keeps getting funnier and funnier. I love the flow of the show. It follows three best friends in their early thirties who, I feel, are still growing and learning about parenting and maintaining different relationships. It's a fun take on life and doesn't stray too far from reality. These hilarious characters remind me of my own family. I like that you can relate to every character and their situation.

After watching the Halloween episode I've come to the conclusion that this show is legit. It's funny, engaging and adorable. I love the quick and hilarious remarks Nick and Sheila throw at each other. It's smart and clever and keeps me coming back for more!

I hope it is here to stay!

One of the best I've seen... Don't know why it was stopped... Would really like to see more....

OK, it didn't get me in the first few episodes... But by the 7th, I was hooked...

Great acting, Great story and genuinely funny, and the babies are amazing and very cute...

There are really few shows which have got me really interested, and this is one of them...

Please, Producers, bring this baaaackkk!!!!!

A very high rating from me....
